Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving Skin
13
items I’ve reiterated my skincare routine more times than I can count. Here are my tried and true favorites that I will continue to repurchase all through my thirties.
Probably the most niche pick in my lineup. Feels thick and luxurious, and my skin is velvety soft after double cleansing with it.
tea tree cleansing oil
Gentle, effective at removing makeup and sunscreen, elegant, affordable, fragrance free. She gets the job done.
Wash Away One Step Cleanser: Gentle Cleanser
You’ll spot this in other lists of my recs because laneige cream skin is that 👏 good 👏
The perfect toner for dry or normal skin. Ceramides keep your barrier strong and tour skin feeling plump and smooth which reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

Cream Skin Milky Toner: 2-in-1 Hydration Hero
1
Calms inflammation, promotes collagen and elastin production, repairs tissue, tightens and firms, and acts as an antioxidant. What can’t copper peptides do? You can definitely find more potent copper peptides out there but this one is perfectly gentl...
PEACH & LILY - Copper Peptide Pro Firming Serum
Kinda like a popsicle for your face? I like to keep it in the fridge, it’s sooo soothing and works great under makeup.
Cooling Water Under Eye Gel Stick - MILK MAKEUP | Ulta Beauty
No link to purchase, unfortunately. IMO there’s no exact match for prescription strength retinol, but my next rec is almost as good. Apply only at night and DON’T FORGET TO WEAR AT THE VERY LOWEST SPF 50 the next day and reapply.
Retin-A
Adapalene! So many brands to choose from. I use differin on my back and stomach to keep my skin firm. Just as with retinol, do NOT for get SPF if you use this in skin that’s not protected by clothing.
Effaclar Adapalene Gel 0.1% Topical Retinoid For Acne
I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this $150 moisturizer is unfortunately the GOAT.
SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 (1.6 fl. oz.)
Only a small step down from the GOAT and honestly 100x the value. For the small difference I see between this and skinceuticals’ lipid cream, I still opt for Skinfix at least half of the time.
Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Face Cream - Skinfix
Easy on the eyes (literally doesn’t make my eyes tear up whatsoever), creamy and hydrating. On days where I’m in a hurry I skip my moisturizer altogether because this has me covered.
ROUND LAB - Birch Juice Moisturizing UVLOCK SPF 45
If you have a lot of redness, this treatment is a lifesaver. It improves your skin barrier as it corrects redness. Gives you that perfect “your skin but better” canvas with the added bonus of SPF 30 (not a replacement for a full face of sunscreen, bu...
Cicapair™ Soothing Color Corrector Treatment SPF 30
Big proponent of skincare as makeup. This one goes on like a dream and actually feels like it’s improving your skin texture while providing coverage.
LES BEIGES Water-fresh tint Deep
Beware if you don’t like the feeling of a sticky gloss, but you’ll be blow away by what a thick layer of this before bed can do for your lips.
Slick Salve Glossy Lip Balm for Soothing + Hydration
